Tessellations

Exciting new development: Emily Grosvenor, author of a new children's book on tiling called Tessalation, is starting World Tessellation Day, June 17th Escher's birthday.

I have an old fashioned webpage with these tessellation resources, and I've decided that I'm still using them enough that I should keep them up to date - which means moving them over to the blog. If I was being really retro, I'd try to find one of those old-timey "Under Construction" gifs.

I like teaching tessellations at all levels of math, and have done so from 2nd
grade up through graduate level math classes. Quasiperiodic tilings (aka
Penrose tilings) were even a part of my thesis. While my interests are now more in
math education, tilings still hold a deep fascination for me. For
younger students it is a deep application of all four Euclidean motions, and
for older students the richness provides many opportunities for analysis,
problem solving and pattern creation/detection. The following resources are
all ones that I have found useful in one way or another. Please don't hesitate
to contact me with questions, suggested resources or any mistakes or bad links.
